Posada de Colores
Our hostel is located at the gates of the sierra madre in MEXICO so apart from the beautiful town the mountains surrounding it are full of treks, waterfalls, canyons and woods.
The lake nearby offers kayaking and waterskiing, there is a cave where at nightfall you can see hundreds of thousands of bats leaving to catch their meal, there is a place called the enchanted forrest, that has a lot of trails for running, trekking and mountainbiking. The town of Santiago has many old buildings so people also enjoy urban exploring here.
Our Hostel is operated by us the owners, we are a young married couple that love the outdoors and have a small natural dyes workshop in the hostel. Both of us have traveled a lot and met many people from around the world. We also have two kids that make our guests feel like home.

overall the hostel was nice, well kept, and welcoming. The town wasn't too big, there was lots of pretty and walkable areas, also a few hikes just an uber away! When I got there I was told I'd be sanding and staining chairs instead of the gardening tasks he had previously mentioned. This was okay but i felt there was little instruction given and ended up having to restart after a few days of work. I stayed the week minimum and finished what i could in the 20 hours. Armando was nice but can improve on communicating tasks and jobs before hand as i had asked before arriving what i'd be doing.

the hostel was clean and peaceful with a beautiful garden to relax in. the work was not as stated and the communication was poor. we met other travelers at the hostel that had the same experience. they give minimal instruction, then got upset when the task isn’t completed correctly. it is a beautiful place to stay but quality decreases with poor hosts. we were open minded to completing the tasks but decided to shorten our stay to the week minimum since it was not what we had agreed or applied for. the work was power tools and staining. We still had a good stay but slightly disappointed.

It was a nice experience at Posada de Colores, even though the host had to be somewhere else during the time i was there, the communication via whatsapp worked well and the other volunteers and employees were were friendly and welcoming. The Kitchen could be equipped a little bit better and a bit more organised, but you have everything to cook.
All in all a good experience! And the location is really good, you have a lot of restaurants and cafes in the surrounding area. Hiking in the mountains is great and i recommend to go to Matacanes for a canyoning tour!
